Eva Longoria opts for a casual sweater and joggers as she arrives in Cannes ahead of her Global Gift Gala
Eva Longoria opted for an extremely casual look as she arrived at this year's Cannes Festival following its ban on risqué outfits.
The American actress and film producer, 50, opted for a casual baseball cap that she paired with a pair of loosely fitted black trousers and oversized suit jacket.
The look was given a splash of colour by a red t-shirt and casual white trainers - a far cry from the plunging dresses typically worn by the actress to the event.
Her hair was styled in subtle mermaid-like waves that were complimented by her minimal use of makeup.
Eva looked as delighted as ever to greet fans at the event, smiling widely for the camera after arriving in France to host her fundraising Global Gift Gala.
She even accepted a small bouquet of roses, which she held up in acknowledgement of her many well-wishers.
The actress's appearance marks her latest attendance at the Global Gift Gala - a charitable event that works toward global educational developments.
Her appearance is also the first since the festival implemented its new ban on risqué outfits.
Devised for 'the sake of decency,' the austere move is an attempt the stifle the celebrity trend for 'naked dresses' - namely provocative outfits that reveal considerably more than they conceal - on the red carpet.
'For decency reasons, nudity is prohibited on the red carpet, as well as any other area of the festival,' states a Cannes festival document.
'The festival welcoming teams will be obligated to prohibit red carpet access to anyone not respecting these rules.'
In previous years, the actress wore much more revealing outfits including a plunging sequin dress to the 2024 festival that showed off her enviable assets.
She similarly opted for a revealing gown in 2023, putting the emphasis that year on her incredible legs.

Even members of the public attending the festival will have to abide by its new dress code.
The surprise new policy features in a recent festival-goers charter - released with a series of outlines regarding expected public behaviour.
Guests are expected to converge on the Grand Auditorium Louis Lumière for some of the highest profile film screenings across a packed seven day schedule in Cannes.
It's understood that the iconic venue now adopts a more conservative dress code, with suits, dinner jackets and floor-length evening gowns generally favoured over headline grabbing ensembles.
Classic little black dresses, cocktail dresses, pant-suits, dressy tops and elegant sandals, 'with or without a heel', will also be permitted.

Tamara de Lempicka's ‘remarkable nude' of lover Rafaëla to be auctioned
When Tamara de Lempicka first came across the young sex worker Rafaëla on Bois de Boulogne in Paris, she was enchanted. Recalling the meeting, the artist called Rafaëla 'the most beautiful woman I have ever seen'. She added: 'Huge black eyes, beautiful sensual mouth, beautiful body. I stop her and say to her: 'Mademoiselle, I'm a painter and I would like you to pose for me. Would you do this?' She says: 'Yes. Why not?'' It was the beginning of an intense relationship – Lempicka and Rafaëla became lovers, and the model appears in several of the artist's important nudes, including 1927's La Belle Rafaëla, described by critics and scholars as 'one of the most remarkable nudes of the century' and 'the highest achievement of the painter's career'. That painting, which depicts a short-haired woman illuminated by a beam of Caravaggesque light and covered with a red cloth that matches her lipstick, is to be auctioned by Sotheby's this month, with an estimate of £6m-£9m. The auction house called it one of the greatest works by Lempicka ever to go under the hammer, and a quintessential example of the artist's sensual and elegant style, which has come to personify the art deco age. It is also an example of Lempicka's defiance of the subject of the female nude as a historically male artist's domain. 'Lempicka was revolutionary in depicting a seductive female nude from a woman's perspective, at a moment when the narrative of art was male-oriented,' said André Zlattinger, the head of modern art for Europe at Sotheby's. 'The market has only started to really appreciate her in recent years, not only in the context of art deco – which itself is celebrating its centenary this year – but in the context of art history. A sensuous depiction of the woman who was both her muse and lover, the painting is also remarkable for its presentation of a woman in full possession of her sexuality, by a woman living to the fullest the idea of artistic and sexual freedom during a defining period between the two world wars.' Born Tamara Rosalia Gurwik-Gorska in 1898 in Warsaw, Poland (then a sovereign state of Russia), Lempicka has come to be recognised both by her epithet, the 'Baroness with a Brush', and as an icon of the roaring 20s. After the divorce of her parents, she was sent to live with her wealthy aunt in St Petersburg, where she developed a taste for luxury. At 18 she married Tadeusz Lempicki, but within a year the Russian Revolution forced the newlyweds to relocate to Paris. In a bid to reinvent herself, she assumed the name Tamara de Lempicka, which she felt had an aristocratic air. She soon cultivated a glittering social circle, establishing herself as the superlative portrait painter of both the nouveau riche and the aristocratic elite. During this time, she and Lempicki divorced, and she later wed Baron Raoul Kuffner after he commissioned her to paint a portrait of his mistress. The couple relocated to Hollywood after the outbreak of the second world war, where Lempicka was briefly the toast of Tinseltown, before her work began to fall out of favour with the rise of abstract expressionism. After the sudden death of the baron on an ocean liner in 1961, she moved to Texas, before finally settling in Cuernavaca, Mexico, where she lived until her death in 1980. But over the past two decades Lempicka's market has been in the ascendant. Early collectors of her work included the likes of Madonna, Barbra Streisand, Jack Nicholson and Wolfgang Joop, while last year saw the Broadway debut of the musical Lempicka and the opening of her first retrospective in the US. Despite her marriages, Lempicka's relationship with Rafaëla has been the one to have captured imaginations. It has inspired authors and playwrights alike, inlcuding Ellis Avery, whose novel The Last Nude imagines their affair. The painting will go on public view at Sotheby's Zurich from 13 to 15 June, and in London from 18to 24 June. It was last offered at auction in May 1985 and was acquired by the current owner in the 1990s. Lempicka's auction record is £16.3m, set in London in February 2020 for Portrait of Marjorie Ferry.

Sydney Sweeney and her younger brother head out for Echo Valley London premiere
brought her rarely-seen younger brother to the European premiere of Echo Valley and the following afterparty at London 's BFI Southbank on Tuesday night. The actress, 27, look glamorous at the event in a halter neck baby blue gown, with a flowing tulle train, before changing for the afterparty. Sydney stars opposite Julianne Moore in the psychological thriller which explores how far a mother - played by Julianne - will go for their child. Family date: Sydney Sweeney took her younger brother as her date to the European premiere of Echo Valley at London's BFI Southbank on Tuesday night For the afterparty, Sydney changed into a satin Miu Miu champagne-coloured dress, that clung to her slim figure and displayed her cleavage. Her little brother Trent looked smart in a leather blazer, black trousers, and aviator shades. The siblings were joined by Trent's girlfriend, Samayre Soto - with the couple looking loved up as he sweetly kissed her cheek. Samayre dressed in an edgy black corseted satin dress which exposed her toned midriff and impressive collection of tattoos. Trent is Sydney's only sibling. He enjoys a life away from the limelight and rarely makes appearances on the red carpet. However, the brother-and-sister have frequently shown their very strong bond, including on Instagram. In 2020, Sydney touched on their relationship, as she discussed whether it was similar to the sibling rivalry depicted in her film Nocturne. She said: 'Not so much the competitive side, but I roughed him up and tried to push him to do more.' After a few minor acting gigs in his childhood, Trent ultimately decided to not pursue an on-screen career. In 2020, he began military training for the United States Air Force, with Sydney showing her support on Instagram at the time by posting several throwback photos of the pair as kids. In a sweet tribute, Sydney captioned the post: 'My little bro leaves for basic training tomorrow. Wishing you luck, bud. When the going gets tough just remember your sister is tougher than you.' Trent has also shown his support for Sydney from the start of her huge Hollywood career by previously promoting her Netflix series Everything Sucks! and protesting its cancellation. In 2019, he shared a throwback selfie of the pair as he voiced his pride at her Screen Actors Guild nomination for her performance in The Handmaid's Tale. He wrote: 'I know this is an old picture and I already posted it, but I wanted to congratulate my sis @sydney_sweeney on being nominated for a SAG award and wish her the best of luck.' The sibling outing comes after Sydney opened up about how she and Trent had to live in a Holiday Inn for nine months after her parents were declared bankrupt. She is now a multi-million dollar success story after making it with acting with roles in Anyone But You, The White Lotus, and The Handmaid's Tale. However, before hitting the big time her family faced several struggles when her mother, Lisa, a criminal defence lawyer, and her father who worked in hospitality, were declared bankrupt. In 2013 when she was 16, her parents who are now divorced, sold their home in Washington, with the family of four living in a one-bedroom hotel room for months. Just a baby: Sydney and Trent pictured as children eating dinner on a makeshift table which appears to be an ironing board Speaking to The Times about her tough childhood, Sydney said: 'We lived in the Holiday Inn in Burbank [northwest LA] for eight and a half months but it felt like my entire life. 'We were sharing a one-bedroom hotel room, no kitchen, no balcony. A pull-out sofa bed, where my dad and brother slept, my mom and me in the bed.' Detailing how her and Trent coped, she said: 'My brother and I tried to make the best of it - we would joke around and say we were in The Suite Life of Zack and Cody. 'We'd run around the different hallways and find stairwells and make friends with all the staff and they would make us grilled cheese.' Sydney now boasts an incredible property portfolio after finding her own financial success thanks to her movie and TV work.
